Kids love bikes.
Always have. 
Always will.

And just what makes these bikes so special? Well, for one thing, we discovered some time ago that TREK kids bikes are almost heirloom-quality...they'll typically survive more than one kid.  That's saying something!   And they're styled the way kids like 'em, so they won't get that "Oh, boy, I really wanted a shirt for my birthday" type of sarcastic reaction (or was that just me as a kid?).  And finally, Chain Reaction treats these bikes exactly the same as our adult bikes.  Fully assembled by a skilled mechanic, checked out by another one, free 30-day service and a 10% discount on accessories (helmets, streamers, horns, etc) purchased at the same time as the bike.

First bikes for 3-4 year olds (includes training wheels)

Jet 12   2011 TREK 12"-wheel bikes. Perfect for the 3-4 year old just starting out, and complete with training wheels.   TREK quality for just $159.99.  And yes, that's fully assembled.   Mystic 12
Boys get Blue, with cool fenders. Looks fast!       Girls get Pink, with streamers & basket.
Cool bikes for 4-6 year olds (includes training wheels!)
    '09 TREK Jet (Boys) & Mystic (Girls) 16"-wheel bikes have set the standard for top-quality bikes at great prices!  Just $179.99 for a great bike complete with training wheels and, of course, fully assembled.  The usual age range for this bike is 4-6 years old.    
   
   
Sharp bikes for 5-8 year olds!
  '09 TREK 20"-wheel Jet & Mystics  are tough, sturdy bikes for the typical 5-8 year old looking for fun on an easy-to-ride bike.   Features both coaster and hand-brakes and a special low-cut framestyle that makes it much easier for smaller kids to ride.  And at $199.99 they're a great buy! Fully assembled.

Once again boys get fenders & girls get streamers & baskets. 
 
       
   
         
First bike with gears for that 6-9 year old

Boys model comes in Black and includes suspension fork.
  '09 TREK Mtn 60 is the entry-level bike with gears (6 speeds) and handbrakes.  The gears make it much easier for your little guy (or girl!) to keep up, and it's sturdy enough to survive an encounter with more than one kid.  And the cool mountain-bike styling will have your child smiling!    $279.99, fully assembled, at Chain Reaction.  
Girls model comes in Teal, also with suspension fork.
7-11 year olds get bikes just like Mom & Dad's!  (just a wee bit smaller)
  '09 TREK Mtn Track 220 is probably the most popular mid-sized kids bike in the world!  24 inch wheels to fit riders from approximately 7-11, special crankset with integral chainguard to keep pants and shoelaces out of the chain, reinforced rear derailleur to handle the type of abuse that kids give bikes, wide-range 21-speed gearing and,of course, a suspension fork!  And all this for just $319.99 at Chain Reaction.  And like every other bike at Chain Reaction, this one's also fully assembled!   
       
   
For the 10-13-year-old that wants to go FAST!
Mom & Dad are going to have a tough time keeping up with any kid on this bike! The KDR 7.2FX is a light, fast hybrid, just like the adult version, but just for kids.

Built similarly to Trek's very popular 1000
